Met Gala 2025: Celebrities saying less is more with daring fits and exposed skin on blue carpet
The Met Gala blue carpet is a place for celebrities to express themselves creatively — and while some prefer go big, others prefer the less-is-more approach.
By less, we mean exposed skin, nude fits, and gowns that offer a thread count in the single digits.
Because if you’ve got, flaunt it.

She strutted confidently in transparent black stockings that exposed her long legs, while her torso remained covered by a boned basque jacket encrusted with crystal buttons to go with her Louis Vuitton clutch.
Model and new mother Hailey Bieber also went leg-first into the event with skyscraper heels, sans husband Justin Bieber.
While the couple’s relationship constantly comes under scrutiny, largely due to their separate public appearances and rumoured behaviour clashes, Hailey did offer a smile to the sea of photographers ready to capture her every move.
Resident Brat, Charli xcx, was up to her old tricks as she reminded fans she’s not afraid to show off her best side. Or any side, really.
The British queen of the club wore a black blazer, accompanied by a very thin train acting as a veil for the portion of her upper leg not hidden by her thigh-high boots.
At five foot nothing, Espresso singer Sabrina Carpenter was another to leave her entire bottom half unmasked to create the illusion of length.
The pop star let her blonde hair hang over a tight-fitted burgundy jacket that matched her high heels.
Kiwi songstress Lorde was one of only a few to surf the silver wave along the blue carpet.
The Royals singer left her mid-riff bare, rocking a scant piece of fabric across her chest to unveil her toned physique and entire back half.
Former Bond girl and perennial red carpet winner Halle Berry cut a striking figure out of a long skirt that was vertically missing half of its fabric.
The star coupled it with a blazer that strategically left her cleavage exposed, and status as a leading lady completely in tact.
British pop star Dua Lipa’s attempt at nailing the black dandyism theme may not have completely followed the brief, but she certainly left a statement.
The singer commands attention in every arena, and the blue carpet was no different, flaunting her lean shoulders and her dance-hardened stomach.
